Indianapolis 500 winner Buddy Lazier and Lazier Partners Racing, Inc., announced this week that Peak Motor Oil and Advance Auto Parts will sponsor the new team's entry in the 97th Indianapolis 500 on Sunday.

Lazier won the race in 1996 and has recorded four top-five finishes at the Indy 500, including two second-place finishes in 1998 and 2000.

“Peak Motor Oil & Antifreeze along with our partner Advance Auto Parts are proud to join forces with Lazier Partners Racing to support Buddy's bid to win the Indy 500 for the second time,” said Bryan Emrich, Sr. VP of Marketing at Peak. “Peak is a company that is proud of its independent, family-owned heritage; the same spirit that drives Lazier Racing. We look forward to the racing.”

Lazier Partners Racing, Inc., was formed just one month ago in Vail, Colo. Team partners include 1981 Indy 500 starter Bob Lazier, who is Buddy's father, and Corbet Krause, along with Jason Peters and Chris Nielsen of 360IMC Sport Marketing.

“I am really proud of what the team has accomplished in such a short amount of time, and to now sign PEAK Motor Oil and Advance Auto Parts is evidence of how hard everyone is working,” Lazier said. “Getting the car on the track and finding a sponsor were the two top goals of the team, and we've now done that. So, we're ready to go racing with Peak Motor Oil and Advance Auto Parts Sunday.”
